I spoke with Doreen this morning and she sends a little bit of an update. She is in rehab after having surgery last Wednesday for a femur broken in two places when she fell walking outside to where Bill was working on a walkway project at their home. She has a steel rod and two screws but should heal just fine in time with full range of motion in the leg. Short term, however, it has been rough as the pain meds make her nauseous so she is not eating much. She had hoped to go home Christmas Eve but that may or may not happen. Doreen is trying to space out the meds and see how long she can go without them to try to get her appetite back and get back home.

Doreen asked me to let you all know - they are doing a surgery to drain the bile duct tomorrow, and the following day, they will do another endoscopy to do a biopsy on the mass which appears to be in her pancreas ............ praying the biopsy will come back benign ............
